Journal #8

I spent the most time revising sentence structures. A few of the sentences on most of the papers tended to be very repetitive with the same words being used to many times. They would use the same word twice in one sentence and it would make it sound weird when you read it out loud. I would makes comments and try to give different examples on how they could change the wording in the sentence to make it smoother. 

This revising process is a lot different than what we used to do in high school. In high school we usually just passed our papers to two other people to have them look over it. They would normally just look for spelling mistakes and fix punctuation. They would never focus on sentence structure. A lot of use also would just skim through the paper and correct some things. We would sign our names at the top and get credit. We didn’t have a week to really look at the papers of our peers. We would have like 15 minutes and then would have to switch. It wasn’t a good system. And then we would hand the rough draft into the teacher and they would look a little closer but then we wouldn’t have a lot of time to really fix it. 

I would read over my partner’s papers out loud once fix some things I noticed right away and then I would go back in and read it one more time to see if I could make more corrections or comments. I think my approach might not have been as closely corrected at some other students but I still left helpful comments. Most of the corrections I made in comments so I didn’t have much in the feedback letter.
